CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

This application is a divisional application of and claims the priority benefit of a prior application Ser. No. 16/513,727, filed on Jul. 17, 2019. The entirety of the above-mentioned patent application is hereby incorporated by reference herein and made a part of this specification.

BACKGROUND

A three-dimensional semiconductor package often includes through interposer vias (TIVs). TIV is a conductive pillar extending between opposite sides of an interposer substrate, so as to couple vertically adjacent device dies. Due to manufacturing variations, some of the TIVs may be shorter than others, and terminals of these TIVs may be recessed from a surface of the interposer substrate. As a result, electrical connection between some vertically adjacent device dies may be failed. Furthermore, dome vertices at top portions of some TIVs may be offset from central axes of these TIVs. When these TIVs are functioned as alignment references during device die placing, misalignment of the device dies may occur.

FIG. 1 is a process flow diagram of a manufacturing method of a semiconductor package according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. FIG. 2A through FIG. 2N are cross-sectional views illustrating structures at various stages during the manufacturing method of the semiconductor package according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.

Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2A, in some embodiments, step S100 is performed, and a redistribution structure 100 is formed over a first carrier CAL The first carrier CA1 is such as a glass carrier. In some embodiments, an adhesion layer (not shown) is pre-formed on a surface of the first carrier CA1, on which the redistribution structure 100 is to be formed. For instance, the adhesion layer may be a light-to-heat-conversion (LTHC) layer, a thermal release layer or the like. Since the redistribution structure 100 is to be attached to the back surface BS of the semiconductor die 118 in the following steps (as shown in FIG. 2I), the redistribution structure 100 may also be referred as a back redistribution structure. In some embodiments, the redistribution structure 100 includes a stack of dielectric layers 102 and redistribution elements 104 formed in the stack of dielectric layers 102. Although three dielectric layers 102 are depicted in FIG. 2A, those skilled in the art may adjust the amount of the dielectric layers 102 in the redistribution structure 100, the present disclosure is not limited thereto. Materials of the dielectric layers 102 may include polymer or other insulating materials. For instance, the dielectric layers 102 may be respectively formed with polyimide, polybenzoxazole, benzocyclobuten, silicones, acrylates, epoxy or combinations thereof. In some embodiments, the dielectric layers 102 are formed with the same material. In alternative embodiments, at least one of the dielectric layers 102 is formed with a material that is different from material(s) of other dielectric layer(s) 102. In addition, a thickness of each dielectric layer 102 may range from 2 μm to 10 μm. The redistribution elements 104 may include conductive vias, conductive traces, the like or combinations thereof, and may be formed of conductive materials, such as Cu, Al, Ti, Ni, the like or combinations thereof.

Referring FIG. 1 , FIG. 2A and FIG. 2B, step S102 is performed, and some portions of the frontmost dielectric layer(s) 102 (i.e., the topmost dielectric layer(s) 102 shown in FIG. 2B) are removed to form openings W1. In the present disclosure, a front side or a front surface of an element is referred as a side or a surface of this element facing the same direction as the front surface FS of the semiconductor die 118 (as shown in FIG. 2I) to be attached on the redistribution structure 100 in the following steps, whereas a back/rear side or a back/rear surface of this element is referred as a side or a surface facing the same direction as the back surface BS of the semiconductor die 118. In addition, the openings W1 may also be regarded as recesses at a surface of the redistribution structure 100. The openings W1 define locations and dimensions of the through via structures 116 a to be formed in the openings W1 afterward (as shown in FIG. 2H). Some of the frontmost redistribution elements 104 (i.e., the topmost redistribution elements 104 shown in FIG. 2B) are exposed by the openings W1, such that the through via structures 116 a formed in the following steps (as shown in FIG. 2G) could be electrically connected with these redistribution elements 104. In some embodiments, an aperture of the opening W1 may range from 100 μm to 300 μm.

Referring to FIG. 1 , FIG. 2B and FIG. 2C, step S104 is performed, and an insulating layer 106 is formed over the redistribution structure 100. The insulating layer 106 may be globally formed over the structure shown in FIG. 2B. As such, a front surface of the redistribution structure 100 (i.e., a top surface of the redistribution structure 100 as shown in FIG. 2C) is covered by the insulating layer 106, and the openings W1 are filled by the insulating layer 106. The insulating layer 106 has a substantially flat front surface (i.e., a top surface as shown in FIG. 2C). A thickness of the insulating layer 106 may range from 100 μm to 300 μm. In some embodiments, the insulating layer 106 may be formed with a photosensitive material, such as polybenzoxazole (PBO), polyimide, benzocyclobutene (BCB), the like or combinations thereof. In alternative embodiments, a material of the insulating layer 106 may be a non-photosensitive material, such as epoxy. In addition, a formation method of the insulating layer 106 may include a solution process (e.g., a spin coating process), a deposition process (e.g., a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process), a lamination process, the like or combinations thereof.

Referring to FIG. 1 , FIG. 2C and FIG. 2D, step S106 is performed, and the insulating layer 106 is patterned to form insulating cores 108 a and insulating cores 108 b. The insulating cores 108 a can be regarded as body portions of the through via structures 116 a to be completely formed in the following steps (as shown in FIG. 2H), whereas the insulating cores 108 b can be regarded as body portions of the dipole structures 116 b to be completely formed in the following steps (also shown in FIG. 2H). The insulating cores 108 a are respectively located within the spans of the openings W1, whereas the insulating cores 108 b are located outside the openings W1. In other words, the insulating cores 108 a extends upwardly from bottom surfaces of the openings W1, whereas the insulating cores 108 b extends upwardly from the front surface of the redistribution structure 100 (i.e., the top surface of the redistribution structure 100 shown in FIG. 2D) outside the openings W1. In addition, the insulating cores 108 a can be regarded as extending into the redistribution structure 100, whereas the insulating cores 108 b are located above the redistribution structure 100. Since the insulating cores 108 a and 108 b are different portions of the same material layer having a substantially flat front surface (i.e., the insulating layer 106 as shown in FIG. 2C), front surfaces of the insulating cores 108 a and 108 b (i.e., top surfaces of the insulating cores 108 a and 108 b as shown in FIG. 2D) are substantially coplanar. Therefore, given rear surfaces of the insulating cores 108 a are lower than rear surfaces of the insulating cores 108 b, a height H_(108a) of the insulating cores 108 a is greater than a height H_(108b) of the insulating cores 108 b. In some embodiments, the height H_(108a) is substantially equal to a sum of the height H_(108b) and a depth of the opening W1. For instance, the height H_(108a) may range from 100 μm to 300 μm, whereas the height H_(108b) may range from 100 μm to 300 μm. In addition, some adjacent insulating cores 108 a and the corresponding openings W1 are spaced apart by a proper distance, such that the semiconductor die 118 could be disposed between these adjacent insulating cores 108 a/openings W1 in the following steps (as shown in FIG. 2I). In some embodiments, the insulating cores 108 a are closer to the space for accommodating the semiconductor die 118 (as shown in FIG. 2I) than the insulating cores 108 b. The areas enclosed by dash lines in FIG. 2D illustrate exemplary top views of the insulating core 108 a and the insulating core 108 b. As shown in the exemplary top views in FIG. 2D, in some embodiments, top view shapes of the opening W1 and the insulating core 108 a are both circular. In addition, a coverage area of the insulating core 108 a is smaller than an area of the opening W1, and the insulating core 108 a is not in contact with a boundary of the opening W1. On the other hand, in some embodiments, the insulating core 108 b is formed in a shape of a dipole antenna. For instance, a top view shape of the insulating core 108 b includes a pair of “L-like” patterns. A portion of the pair of “L-like” patterns can be regarded as parallel lines, and another portion of the pair of “L-like” patterns can be regarded as lines extending toward opposite directions from terminals of those parallel lines. In some embodiments, the pair of “L-like” patterns are in mirror symmetry with one another. However, those skilled in the art may modify the top view shapes of the insulating cores 108 a and 108 b according to design requirements, the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

Referring to FIG. 1 , FIG. 2D and FIG. 2E, step S108 is performed, and a seed layer 110 is formed over the redistribution structure 100 and the insulating cores 108 a and 108 b. In some embodiments, the seed layer 110 is conformally formed over the structure shown in FIG. 2D. As such, the front surfaces and sidewalls of the insulating cores 108 a and 10 b as well as the exposed surface of the redistribution structure 100 are covered by the seed layer 110. In some embodiments, a material of the seed layer 110 includes Ti, Cu, the like or combinations thereof. A thickness of the seed layer 110 may range from 1 Å to 10000 Å. In addition, the seed layer 110 may be formed by, for example, a deposition process, such as a physical vapor deposition (PVD) process.

Referring to FIG. 1 , FIG. 2E and FIG. 2F, step S110 is performed, and a photoresist pattern 112 is formed over the seed layer 110. The photoresist pattern 112 has openings W2 and openings W3. The openings W2 are respectively overlapped with the openings W1 of the frontmost dielectric layer 102 in the redistribution structure 100, and the insulating cores 108 a with the covering portions of the seed layer 110 are respectively located within the spans of the openings W2. A coverage area of the insulating core 108 a with the covering portion of the seed layer 110 is smaller than an area of the opening W2 and the area of the opening W1. In addition, boundaries of the opening W2 and the underlying opening W1 are not in contact with a vertical portion of the seed layer 110 covering the sidewall of the insulating core 108 a, such that a portion of the insulating core 108 a below a front surface (i.e., a top surface in FIG. 2F) of the photoresist pattern 112 could be covered by the conductive layer 114 a in the following step (as shown in FIG. 2G). On the other hand, the insulating cores 108 b with the covering portions of the seed layer 110 are respectively located within the spans of the openings W3. A coverage area of the insulating core 108 b with the covering portion of the seed layer 110 is smaller than an area of the opening W3. In addition, a boundary of the opening W3 is not in contact with a vertical portion of the seed layer 110 covering the sidewall of the insulating core 108 b, such that a portion of the insulating core 108 b below the front surface of the photoresist pattern 112 could be covered by the conductive layer 114 b formed in the following step (as shown in FIG. 2G).

Referring to FIG. 1 , FIG. 2F and FIG. 2G, step S112 is performed, and conductive layers 114 a and 114 b are formed over the exposed portions of the seed layer 110. The insulating cores 108 a with the covering portions of the seed layer 110 are respectively covered by the conductive layers 114 a. As such, the front surfaces (i.e., the top surfaces in FIG. 2G) and the sidewalls of the insulating cores 108 a are covered by the conductive layers 114 a. Since the front surfaces of the insulating cores 108 a are substantially flat, portions of the seed layers 110 and the conductive layers 114 a lying over the front surfaces of the insulating cores 108 a can have substantially flat surfaces as well. In some embodiments, a space between the vertical portion of the seed layer 110 covering the sidewall of the insulating core 108 a and the boundaries of the openings W1 and W2 is currently filled by the conductive layer 114 a. In these embodiments, a portion of the seed layer 110 lying on a bottom surface of the opening W1 is covered by the conductive layer 114 a. On the other hand, the insulating cores 108 b with the covering portions of the seed layer 110 are respectively covered by the conductive layers 114 b. In this way, the front surfaces (i.e., the top surfaces in FIG. 2G) and the sidewalls of the insulating cores 108 b are covered by the conductive layers 114 b. Since the front surfaces of the insulating cores 108 b are substantially flat, portions of the seed layers 110 and the conductive layers 114 b lying over the front surfaces of the insulating cores 108 b can have substantially flat surfaces as well. In some embodiments, a space between the vertical portion of the seed layer 110 covering the sidewall of the insulating core 108 b and the boundary of the opening W3 is currently filled by the conductive layer 114 b, and a portion of the seed layer 110 lying on a bottom surface of the opening W3 is covered by the conductive layer 114 b. In some embodiments, the conductive layers 114 a and 114 b are formed in the same step, and may be formed with the same material and substantial the same thickness. In these embodiments, the front surfaces of the conductive layers 114 a and 114 b (i.e., the top surfaces of the conductive layers 114 a and 114 b as shown in FIG. 2G) are substantially coplanar with one another. For instance, the thickness of the conductive layers 114 a and 114 b may range from 10 μm to 30 μm. A material of the conductive layers 114 a and 114 b may include Cu, Al, Ti, Ni, the like or combinations thereof. In addition, a formation method of the conductive layers 114 a and 114 b may include a plating process or a deposition process. For instance, the plating process may be an electroplating process or an electro-less plating process, whereas the deposition process may be a PVD process.

Referring to FIG. 1 , FIG. 2G and FIG. 2H, step S114 is performed, and the photoresist pattern 112 and the underlying portions of the seed layer 110 are removed. That is, the portions of the seed layer 110 that are not covered by the conductive layers 114 a or 114 b are removed along with the photoresist pattern 112. After removing the photoresist pattern 112 and the underlying portions of the seed layer 110, some portions of the front surface of the redistribution structure 100 (i.e. the top surface of the redistribution structure 100 as shown in FIG. 2H) are exposed, and portions of the conductive layers 114 a and 114 b that were located in the openings W2 and W3 of the photoresist pattern 112 are currently exposed. In some embodiments, a method for removing the photoresist pattern 112 and the underlying portion of the seed layer 110 includes a stripping process, an etching process or a combination thereof. The insulating core 108 a, the covering portion of the seed layer 110 and the conductive layer 114 a lying over this portion of the seed layer 110 are collectively referred as a through via structure 116 a, whereas the insulating core 108 b, the covering portion of the seed layer 110 and the conductive layer 114 b lying over this portion of the seed layer 110 are collectively referred as a dipole structure 116 b. The through via structures 116 a and the dipole structures 116 b have substantially flat front surfaces (i.e., top surfaces in FIG. 2H), and the front surfaces of the through via structures 116 a and the dipole structures 116 b are substantially coplanar with one another. On the other hand, back sides of the through via structures 116 a (i.e., bottom sides of the through via structures 116 a as shown in FIG. 2H) extend into the redistribution structure 100, whereas back sides of the dipole structures 116 b (i.e., bottom sides of the dipole structures 116 b as shown in FIG. 2H) are in contact with the front surface of the redistribution structure 100 (i.e., the top surface of the redistribution structure 100 as shown in FIG. 2H) from above. The insulating core 108 a and the insulating core 108 b are body portions of the through via structure 116 a and the dipole structure 116 b, whereas the conductive layer 114 a and the conductive layer 114 b may be regarded as skin portions (or shell portions) of the through via structure 116 a and the dipole structure 116 b. Thereby, shapes of the through via structure 116 a and the dipole structure 116 b are mainly determined by the shapes of the insulating core 108 a and the insulating core 108 b, which are exemplarily illustrated in FIG. 2D.

Referring to FIG. 1 , FIG. 2H and FIG. 2I, step S116 is performed, and a semiconductor die 118 is attached onto the redistribution structure 100. The attached semiconductor die 118 is located between the adjacent through via structures 116 a that are sufficiently spaced apart from each other. In some embodiment, the semiconductor die 118 is a logic die, a memory die or the like. For instance, the logic die may be a central processing unit (CPU) die, a micro-control unit (MCU) die, an input/output (I/O) die, a baseband (BB) die or an application processor (AP) die, whereas the memory die may be a dynamic random access memory (DRAM) die or a static random access memory (SRAM) die. An integrated circuit including active devices and passive devices (both not shown) may be formed in the semiconductor die 118. For instance, the active devices may include transistor(s), diode(s), the like or combinations thereof, whereas the passive devices may include resistor(s), capacitor(s), inductor(s), the like or combinations thereof. In addition, an interconnection layer (not shown) may be formed in the semiconductor die 118, and the active devices and the passive devices may be interconnected by this interconnection layer. In some embodiments, a plurality of conductive components 120 may be formed at a front surface FS of the semiconductor die 118 (i.e., the top surface of the semiconductor die 118 as shown in FIG. 2I), and may be functioned as I/Os of the semiconductor die 118. For instance, the conductive components 120 may be conductive pillars, such as copper pillars. In addition, the conductive components 120 may be embedded in a passivation layer 122. In some embodiments, front surfaces of the conductive components 120 (i.e., top surfaces of the conductive components 120 as shown in FIG. 2I) are substantially coplanar with a front surface of the passivation layer 122 (i.e., a top surface of the passivation layer 122 as shown in FIG. 2I). In alternative embodiments, the front surfaces of the conductive components 120 are buried in the passivation layer 122. Before attaching the semiconductor die 118 to the redistribution structure 100, an adhesion layer 124 may be formed over a back surface BS of the semiconductor die 118 (i.e., a bottom surface of the semiconductor die 118 as shown in FIG. 2I). As such, the semiconductor die 118 may be attached to the redistribution structure 100 via the adhesion layer 124. For instance, the adhesion layer 124 may be a die attach film (DAF). In some embodiments, after the semiconductor die 118 with the adhesion layer 124 is attached to the redistribution structure 100, the front surface of the passivation layer 122 (or the front surfaces of the passivation layer 122 and the conductive components 120) is higher than the front surfaces of the through via structures 116 a and the dipole structures 116 b.

Referring to FIG. 1 , FIG. 2I and FIG. 2J, step S118 is performed, and the thorough via structures 116 a, the dipole structures 116 b and the semiconductor die 118 with the adhesion layer 124 are laterally encapsulated by an encapsulant 126. In some embodiments, the structures over the redistribution structure 100 are over molded by an initial encapsulant (not shown), then a planarization process may performed on the initial encapsulant, so as to form the encapsulant 126. For instance, the planarization process may be a chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) process, an etching process or a grinding process. During the planarization process, a portion of the passivation layer 122 and portions of the conductive components 120 may be removed. As such, the front surfaces of the passivation layer 122 and the conductive components 120 may be substantially coplanar with the front surface of the encapsulant 126. In addition, capping portions of the conductive layers 114 a and 114 b covering the front surfaces of the insulating cores 108 a and 108 b may be functioned as stopping layers during the planarization process. In this way, the surfaces of the capping portions of the conductive layers 114 a and 114 b may be substantially coplanar with the front surfaces of the encapsulant 126, the passivation layer 122 and the conductive components 120. On the other hand, the back surfaces of the dipole structures 116 b and the adhesion layer 124 may be substantially coplanar with a back surface of the encapsulant 126 (i.e., a bottom surface of the encapsulant 126), whereas the through via structures 116 a may be protruded from the back surface of the encapsulant 126 into the redistribution structure 100.

In alternative embodiments, a method for forming the encapsulant 126 does not include a planarization process, and an encapsulant material for forming the encapsulant 126 is dispensed up to an eventual height of the encapsulant 126.

Referring to FIG. 1 , FIG. 2J and FIG. 2K, step S120 is performed, and a front redistribution structure 128 is formed over the current reconstructed wafer structure shown in FIG. 2J. In this way, the front surfaces of the encapsulant 126, the through via structures 116 a, the dipole structures 116 b, the passivation layer 122 and the conductive components 120 are covered by the redistribution structure 128. In addition, since the front surface FS of the semiconductor die 118 faces toward the redistribution structure 128, the redistribution structure 128 may also be referred as a front redistribution structure. In some embodiments, the redistribution structure 128 includes a stack of dielectric layers 130 and redistribution elements 132 formed in the stack of dielectric layers 130. Although three dielectric layers 130 are depicted in FIG. 2K, those skilled in the art may adjust the amount of the dielectric layers 130 in the redistribution structure 128, the present disclosure is not limited thereto. Materials of the dielectric layers 130 may include polymer or other insulating materials. For instance, the dielectric layers 130 may be respectively formed with polyimide, polybenzoxazole, benzocyclobuten, silicones, acrylates, epoxy or combinations thereof. In addition, a thickness of each dielectric layer 130 may range from 2 μm to 10 μm. On the other hand, the redistribution elements 132 may include conductive vias, conductive traces, the like or combinations thereof, and may be formed of conductive materials, such as Cu, Al, Ti, Ni, the like or combinations thereof. The redistribution elements 132 are electrically connected with the semiconductor die 118 through the conductive components 120, and the I/Os of the semiconductor die 188 (e.g., the conductive components 120) can be out routed to the span of the redistribution structure 128. Furthermore, the redistribution elements 132 are electrically connected with the through via structures 116 a and the dipole structures 116 b. As such, the semiconductor die 118 may be electrically connected with at least some of the through via structures 116 a and the dipole structures 116 b through the redistribution elements 132. In some embodiments, the through via structures 116 a that are closest to the semiconductor die 118 may not be electrically connected with the semiconductor die 118, and may receive a reference voltage (e.g., a ground voltage), so as to be functioned as electromagnetic shielding structures for blocking electromagnetic interference on the semiconductor die 118. In some embodiments, some the through via structures 116 a that are closest to the semiconductor die 118 (which are referred as through via structures 116 a-1) may receive the reference voltage through the redistribution structure 100 and/or the redistribution structure 128, and may be functioned as a electromagnetic shielding structure for the semiconductor die 118.

Referring to FIG. 1 , FIG. 2K and FIG. 2L, step S122 is performed, and a second carrier CA2 is attached to the redistribution structure 128 at the front side (i.e., the bottom side in FIG. 2L) of the package structure, and the first carrier CA1 is detached from the redistribution structure 100 at a back side (i.e., the top side in FIG. 2L) of the package structure. In some embodiments, the structure shown in FIG. 2K is flipped over, and then the second carrier CA2 is attached to the redistribution structure 128 at the front side (i.e., the bottom side in FIG. 2L) of the package structure. Thereafter, the first carrier CA1 is detached from the redistribution structure 100 at the rear side (i.e., the top side in FIG. 2L) of the package structure. As such, a surface of the redistribution structure 100 that is opposite to the semiconductor die 118 is exposed.

Referring to FIG. 1 , FIG. 2L and FIG. 2M, step S124 is performed, and electrical connectors 134 are formed over the redistribution structure 100. In some embodiments, the electrical connectors 134 include micro-bumps, controlled collapse chip connection (C4) bumps, ball grid array (BGA) balls, solder balls or the like. A method for forming the electrical connectors 134 may include removing some portions of the rearmost dielectric layer(s) 102 (i.e., the topmost dielectric layer(s) 102 as shown in FIG. 2M) to form openings in this dielectric layer(s) 102. Theses openings in the rearmost dielectric layer(s) 102 may expose some of the redistribution elements 104. Thereafter, the electrical connectors 134 may be formed in these openings of the rearmost dielectric layer(s) 102, and may be electrically connected with the exposed redistribution elements 104. In some embodiments, before forming the electrical connectors 134, under ball metallization (UBM) layers 133 may be formed in these openings of the rearmost dielectric layer(s) 102. For instance, a material of the UBM layer 133 may include Cr, Cu, Ti, W, Ni, Al, the like or combinations thereof.

Referring to FIG. 1 , FIG. 2M and FIG. 2N, step S126 is performed, such that the second carrier CA2 is detached from the redistribution structure 128 at the front side (i.e., the top side in FIG. 2N) of the package structure, and electrical connectors 136 are formed over the redistribution structure 128. In some embodiments, before detaching the second carrier CA2 and forming the electrical connectors 136, the structure shown in FIG. 2N may be flipped over, and the electrical connectors 134 at the back side (i.e., the bottom side in FIG. 2N) of the current package structure may be attached to a tape (not shown). After the electrical connectors 134 at the back side (i.e., the bottom side in FIG. 2N) of the package structure are attached with the tape, the electrical connectors 136 are formed over the redistribution structure 128 at the front side (i.e., the top side in FIG. 2N) of the package structure. In some embodiments, the electrical connectors 136 include micro-bumps, controlled collapse chip connection (C4) bumps, ball grid array (BGA) balls, solder balls or the like. A method for forming the electrical connectors 136 may include removing some portions of the frontmost dielectric layer(s) 130 (i.e., the topmost dielectric layer(s) 130 as shown in FIG. 2N) to form openings in this dielectric layer(s) 130. These openings in the frontmost dielectric layer(s) 130 may expose some of the redistribution elements 132. Thereafter, the electrical connectors 136 may be formed in these openings of the frontmost dielectric layer(s) 130, and may be electrically connected with the exposed redistribution elements 132. In some embodiments, before forming the electrical connectors 136, UBM layers 135 may be formed in these openings of the frontmost dielectric layer(s) 130. For instance, a material of the UBM layer 135 may include Cr, Cu, Ti, W, Ni, Al, the like or combinations thereof. Furthermore, after forming the electrical connectors 136, a singulation process may be performed on the current structure, and the tape attached to the electrical connectors 134 may be removed.

Up to here, a semiconductor package 10 of some embodiments in the present disclosure is formed. The semiconductor die 118, the through via structures 116 a and the dipole structures 116 b are laterally encapsulated by the encapsulant 126. The through via structures 116 a may be functioned to transmit signals between a front side and a back side of the semiconductor die 118. The dipole structures 116 b may be functioned as antennas that may transmit signals from the semiconductor die 118 to an external component, or to receive signals from the external component and send to the semiconductor die 118. The through via structures 116 a and the dipole structures 116 b respectively have an insulating core (i.e., the insulating cores 108 a and the insulating cores 108 b as labeled in FIG. 2J) and a conductive layer covering the insulating core (i.e., the conductive layers 114 a and the conductive layers 114 b as labeled in FIG. 2J). The front surfaces of the insulting cores of the through via structures 116 a and the dipole structures 116 b (i.e., the insulating cores 108 a and 108 b as labeled in FIG. 2J) are substantially flat, and are substantially coplanar with one another. Accordingly, the capping portions of the conductive layers covering the front surfaces of the insulating cores (i.e., the conductive layers 114 a and 114 b as labeled in FIG. 2J) have substantially flat surfaces as well, and are substantially coplanar with each other. In other words, height variation among the through via structures 116 a and the dipole structures 116 b is significantly reduced. Therefore, the through via structures 116 a and/or the dipole structures 116 b are much less likely to be recessed from the front surface of the encapsulant 126, thus fails on electrical connection between the through via structures 116 a/dipole structures 116 b and the components formed thereon (e.g., the redistribution structure 128) can be effectively avoided. Furthermore, since the front surfaces of the through via structures 116 a and the dipole structures 116 b are substantially flat, dome structures are absent at top portions of the through via structures 116 a. Thereby, problem of dome vertices offset would not occur, and the through via structures 116 a can be functioned as reliable alignment references during a die placing process.

FIG. 3A is a cross-sectional view illustrating a semiconductor package 20 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. FIG. 3B is an exemplary top view of the semiconductor package shown in FIG. 3A.

Referring to FIG. 2N and FIG. 3A, the semiconductor package 20 shown in FIG. 3 can be regarded as a stacking structure including the semiconductor package 10 shown in FIG. 2N and an antenna package 200 stacked on top of the semiconductor package 10. In some embodiments, the antenna package 200 is attached and electrically connected to the semiconductor die 118 through the electrical connectors 136 and the front redistribution structure 128. In some embodiments, the antenna package 200 includes an antenna die 202. The antenna die 202 may include multiple pairs of patches 204. Each pair of patches 204 are disposed at opposite sides of the antenna die 202, and are overlapped with each other. The patches 204 are conductive, and are functioned to send/receive signals. In some embodiments, one of each pair of patches 204 is embedded in a body portion of the antenna die 202, whereas the other one patch 204 is disposed on the body portion of the antenna die 202. For instance, bottom ones of the patches 204 are embedded in the body portion of the antenna die 202, whereas top ones of the patches 204 are disposed over the body portion. Moreover, the antenna package 200 further includes an interconnection structure 206 formed at a surface of the antenna die 202 that is facing toward the semiconductor package 10 (e.g., a bottom surface of the antenna die 202 as shown in FIG. 3A). In some embodiments, the interconnection structure 206 includes a stack of dielectric layers 208, a ground plane 210, feed lines 212 and through vias 214. The ground plane 210 is formed in one of the dielectric layers 208, and may be configured to receive a reference voltage (e.g. a ground voltage). The ground plane 210 is a blanket conductive layer, and has openings W4. In some embodiments, the ground plane 210 is overlapped with the underlying semiconductor die 118, the through via structures 116 a and the dipole structures 116 b. Each opening W4 is overlapped with one of the pairs of patches 204. The feed lines 212 are formed in at least one of the dielectric layers 208 that is/are located at a side of the ground plane 210 opposite to the antenna die 202 (e.g., a bottom side of the ground plane 210 as shown in FIG. 3A). The through via 214 penetrates through the opening W4, and is electrically connected between one of the bottom patches 204 and at least one of the feed lines 212. The feed lines 212 are electrically connected to the I/Os (e.g., the conductive components 120) of the semiconductor die 118 through the electrical connectors 136 and the redistribution structure 128. As such, signals can be transmitted between the antenna die 202 and the semiconductor die 118 through the through vias 214, the feed lines 212, the electrical connectors 136 and the redistribution structure 128.

In some embodiments, the semiconductor package 20 is further attached onto a circuit substrate (not shown). In these embodiments, the circuit substrate may be attached with the electrical connectors 134 at a back side of the semiconductor package 20. For instance, the circuit substrate may be a printed circuit board (PCB).

Referring to FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B, in some embodiments, the semiconductor die 118 is disposed at a central region of the semiconductor package 10, and is surrounded by the through vias 214 and the patches 204 of the overlying antenna package 200. The semiconductor die 118 may not be overlapped with the patches 204, thus electromagnetic interference between the patches 204 and the semiconductor die 118 may be reduced. Further, the through vias 214 and the patches 204 of the antenna package 200 may be surrounded by the through via structures 116 a of the underlying semiconductor package 10. In some embodiments, the through via structures 116 a are surrounded by the dipole structures 116 b in the semiconductor package 10. In this way, the semiconductor die 118, the patches 204 with the through vias 214, the through via structures 116 a and the dipole structures 116 b may be sequentially arranged from a center of the semiconductor package 20 to an edge of the semiconductor package 20. In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 3B, top view shapes of the semiconductor die 118 and the patches 204 are both rectangular, and the surrounding through via structures 116 a are distributed along a boundary of a rectangle. In addition, the semiconductor die 118 may be regarded as being rotated clockwise or counterclockwise by, for example, around 45° with respect to the patches 204. The patches 204 may be respectively located between an edge of the semiconductor die 118 and the adjacent portion of the through via structures 116 a. As such, a the patches 204 of the antenna package 200 may be closer to the center of the semiconductor package 20, and so as the through via structures 116 a and the dipole structures 116 b of the semiconductor package 10. Accordingly, dimension of the semiconductor package 20 including the semiconductor package 10 and the antenna package 200 may be reduced. However, those skilled in the art may modify the configuration of the elements in the semiconductor package 10 and the antenna package 200 according to design requirements, the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

In the embodiments illustrated with reference to FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B, the semiconductor die 118 may communicate with external components along horizontal and vertical direction respectively through the dipole structures 116 b and the antenna die 202.

FIG. 4A through FIG. 4D are cross-sectional views illustrating structures at various stages during a manufacturing method of a semiconductor package 20 a according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. The embodiments to be described with reference to FIG. 4A through FIG. 4D are similar to the embodiments illustrate by FIG. 2A through FIG. 2N and FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B. Only the differences therebetween will be discussed, the like or the same parts may not be repeated again.

Referring to FIG. 1 , and FIG. 4A, after step S100 through step S108 (as shown in FIG. 2A through FIG. 2E) have been completed, step S110 is performed, and a photoresist pattern 112 a is formed over the seed layer 110. A difference between the photoresist pattern 112 a shown in FIG. 4A and the photoresist pattern 112 shown in FIG. 2F lies in that the photoresist pattern 112 a exposes a portion of the seed layer 110 on which the semiconductor die 118 is to be attached. In some embodiments, the portion of the seed layer 110 located between those adjacent insulating cores 108 a, which are sufficiently spaced apart for accommodating the semiconductor die 118, is completely exposed by the photoresist pattern 112 a. In these embodiments, the openings W2 accommodating those sufficiently separated insulating cores 108 a may be regarded as merging into a large opening.

Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 4B, step S112 is performed, and the conductive layers 114 a, the conductive layers 114 b and conductive layer 114 c are formed over the exposed portions of the seed layer 110. The conductive layers 114 a, 114 b and 114 c may be regarded as different portions of the same material layer. The insulating cores 108 a with the covering portions of the seed layer 110 are respectively covered by the conductive layers 114 a, whereas the insulating cores 108 b with the covering portions of the seed layer 110 are respectively covered by the conductive layers 114 b. In addition, the portion of the seed layer 110 located between those sufficiently separated insulating cores 108 a is covered by the conductive layer 114 c. In some embodiments, the conductive layer 114 c is connected with the adjacent conductive layers 114 a.

Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 4C, after step S114 is completed, step S116 is performed, and the semiconductor die 118 is attached onto conductive layer 114 c lying over the redistribution structure 100. In some embodiments, the conductive layer 114 c with the underlying portion of the seed layer 110 is connected with some of the through via structures 116 a that are closest to the semiconductor die 118 (which are also referred as the through via structures 116 a-1), and the through via structures 116 a-1 as well as the conductive layer 114 with the underlying portion of the seed layer 110 are configured to receive a reference voltage (e.g., a ground voltage). In these embodiments, the through via structures 116 a-1 may be functioned as electromagnetic shielding structures, and the conductive layer 114 c with the underlying portion of the seed layer 110 that is connected between these shielding structures 116 a-1 may be functioned as an electromagnetic shielding layer. The shielding structures may block the semiconductor die 118 from lateral electromagnetic interference, whereas the shielding layer may block the semiconductor die 118 from electromagnetic interference from below the semiconductor die 118.

Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 4D, after step S118 through step S126 have been completed, a semiconductor package 10 a is formed. A difference between the semiconductor package 10 a shown in FIG. 4D and the semiconductor package 10 shown in FIG. 2N or FIG. 3A lies in that the semiconductor package 10 a further includes the shielding layer containing the conductive layer 114 c and the underlying portion of the seed layer 10. The shielding layer is located between the semiconductor die 118 and the redistribution structure 100, and is functioned to provide an electromagnetic shield for the semiconductor die 118. In some embodiments, the antenna package 200 is further attached onto the semiconductor package 10 a, so as to form a semiconductor package 20 a.

FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a semiconductor package 10 b according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.

Referring to FIG. 2N and FIG. 5 , the semiconductor package 10 b shown in FIG. 5 is similar to the semiconductor package 10 as shown in FIG. 2N, a difference therebetween lies in that the front surfaces of the insulating cores 108 a and 108 b (i.e., top surfaces of the insulating cores 108 a and 108 b as shown in FIG. 5 ) in the semiconductor package 10 b are not covered by the seed layer 110 and the conductive layers 114 a and 114 b. In other words, the insulating cores 108 a and 108 b of the through via structures 116 a and the dipole structures 116 b shown in FIG. 5 may be in direct contact with the overlying elements (e.g., the redistribution structure 128).

As shown in FIG. 5 , the sidewall of the insulating core 108 a of the through via structure 116 a is covered by a portion of the seed layer 110 and the conductive layer 114 a, whereas the front surface of the insulating core 108 a may not be capped by the seed layer 110 and the conductive layer 114 a. In some embodiments, the conductive layer 114 a has a vertical portion 114 a-1 extending vertically along the sidewall of the insulating core 108 a, and further has a horizontal portion 114 a-2 extending horizontally from a rear end of the vertical portion 114 a-1 (i.e., a bottom end of the vertical portion 114 a-1 as shown in FIG. 5 ). In some embodiments, the horizontal portion 114 a-2 with the underlying portion of the seed layer 110 spans within the opening W1. In alternative embodiments, the horizontal portion 114 a-2 with the underlying portion of the seed layer 110 extends from the bottom surface of the opening W1 to the front surface of the redistribution structure 100 outside the opening W1. Since the conductive layer 114 a further has the horizontal portion 114 a-2, contact area/overlay area between the conductive layer 114 a and the redistribution elements 104 in the redistribution structure 100 may be increased, thus contact resistance between the conductive layer 114 a and the redistribution elements 104 may be reduced. In some embodiments, the redistribution structure 128 further includes conductive pads CP. The conductive pad CP is electrically connected between the conductive layer 114 a of the through via structure 116 a and the redistribution elements 132. The conductive pads CP may be disposed in the rearmost dielectric layer 130 of the redistribution structure 128 (i.e., the bottommost dielectric layer 130 of the redistribution structure 128 as shown in FIG. 5 ). The front surface of the through via structure 116 a includes the front surfaces of the insulating core 108 a and the surrounding seed layer 110 and conductive layer 114 a, and is covered by the conductive pad CP. In some embodiments, the front surface of the through via structure 116 a is in direct contact with the conductive pad CP. In addition, in some embodiments, an area of the conductive pad CP is greater than an area of the front surface of the through via structure 116 a. However, those skilled in the art may adjust the area and shape of the conductive pad CP according to design requirements, the present disclosure is not limited thereto. By disposing the conductive pad CP, a contact area of the through via structure 116 a may be expanded to a span of the conductive pad CP, and electrical connection between the through via structure 116 a and the redistribution elements 132 may be improved.

Similar to the through via structure 116 a, the sidewall of the insulating core 108 b of the dipole structure 116 b is covered by a portion of the seed layer 110 and the conductive layer 114 b, whereas the front surface of the insulating core 108 b may not be capped by the seed layer 110 and the conductive layer 114 b. The conductive layer 114 b extends along the sidewall of the insulating core 108 b. In some embodiments, the conductive layer 114 b extends vertically, and does not have a horizontally extending portion. In some embodiments, the redistribution structure 128 further includes conductive pads CP1. The conductive pad CP1 is electrically connected between the conductive layer 114 b of the dipole structure 116 b and the redistribution elements 132. The conductive pads CP1 may be disposed in the rearmost dielectric layer 130 of the redistribution structure 128 (i.e., the bottommost dielectric layer 130 of the redistribution structure 128 as shown in FIG. 5 ). The front surface of the dipole structure 116 b includes the front surfaces of the insulating core 108 b and the surrounding seed layer 110 and conductive layer 114 b, and is covered by the conductive pad CP1. In some embodiments, the front surface of the dipole structure 116 b is in direct contact with the conductive pad CP1. In addition, in some embodiments, the top view shape of the conductive pad CP1 may be linear, circular or polygonal. Those skilled in the art may modify the area and shape of the conductive pad CP1 according to design requirements, the present disclosure is not limited thereto. By disposing the conductive pad CP1, a contact area of the dipole structure 116 b may be expanded to a span of the conductive pad CP1, and electrical connection between the dipole structure 116 b and the redistribution elements 132 may be improved.

Regarding a manufacturing method of the semiconductor package 10 b as shown in FIG. 5 , portions of the conductive layers 114 a and 114 b initially lying over the front surfaces of the insulating cores 108 a and 108 b may be removed in the step of forming the encapsulant 126 (i.e., step S118 as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2J). In some embodiments, the conductive layers 114 a and 114 b initially lying over the front surfaces of the insulating cores 108 a and 108 b are covered by an initial encapsulant (not shown), then a planarization process is performed on the initial encapsulant and those portions of the conductive layers 114 a and 114 b, so as to form the encapsulant 126. In this way, the front surfaces of the insulating cores 108 a and 108 b are no longer covered by the conductive layers 114 a and 114 b. In addition, the front surfaces of the insulating cores 108 a and 108 b are substantially coplanar with the front surface of the encapsulant 126.

As above, the semiconductor package of some embodiments in the present disclosure includes through via structures and dipole structures. The through via structures and the dipole structures respectively have an insulating core and a conductive layer covering the sidewall (or the sidewall and the front surface) of the insulating core. The front surfaces of the insulting cores of the through via structures and the dipole structures can be substantially flat, and substantially coplanar with one another. Accordingly, height variation among the through via structures and the dipole structures can be very low. Therefore, the through via structures and/or the dipole structures are much less likely to be recessed from the front surface of the encapsulant laterally encapsulating the through via structures and the dipole structures, thus fails on electrical connection between the through via structures/dipole structures and the components formed on the encapsulant can be avoided. Furthermore, since the front surfaces of the through via structures can be substantially flat, dome structures are absent at top portions of the through via structures. Thereby, problem of dome vertices offset would not occur, and the through via structures can be functioned as reliable alignment references during a die placing process.

Other features and processes may also be included. For example, testing structures may be included to aid in the verification testing of the 3D packaging or 3DIC devices. The testing structures may include, for example, test pads formed in a redistribution layer or on a substrate that allows the testing of the 3D packaging or 3DIC, the use of probes and/or probe cards, and the like. The verification testing may be performed on intermediate structures as well as the final structure. Additionally, the structures and methods disclosed herein may be used in conjunction with testing methodologies that incorporate intermediate verification of known good dies to increase the yield and decrease costs.
